Realistic iPhone 5 Mock-Ups Sell Cheap In China

Fully-assembled iPhone 5 mock-ups are inundating China according to a report by M.I.C. Gadget who have posted a gallery of photos from various case makers.

“The new iPhone mock-ups are EVERYWHERE in China now,
and they are specially made for case makers who are starting
full-fledged mass production of iPhone 5 cases." Chris Chang wrote for M.I.C. Gadget.”

Several websites have used the fake phones to create media frenzy — witnessed by Taiwanese pop star Jimmy Lin, who snagged over 100,000 comments on his micro-blog after duping die hard fans with his own convincing iPhone 5 mock-up photos.

While it's still unclear exactly what features the new handset will carry — Apple is expected to unveil their latest iPhone design at a special event confirmed to take place on Wednesday, September 12th. Official media invitations for the event have not yet been issued, but should arrive early this week.
